Galatians 4:1-5

1Now I am saying, so long as the heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, even though he is the owner of everything.

2Instead, he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.

3So also, when we were underage, we were subservient to the basic principles of the world.

4But when the fullness of time came, God sent out His Son, born of a woman and born under law—

5to free those under law, so we might receive adoption as sons.
